City of L.A. provides thousands of cases of free water

LOS ANGELES - After providing more than 11,000 cases of free water, the City of Los Angeles announced that resources are available as the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) and other City departments respond to a water outage caused by emergency repairs in the neighborhoods of Porter Ranch and Granada Hills in the San Fernando Valley. The LADWP has issued a Boil Water Notice and will continue working alongside other City crews to mitigate impacts on affected Angelenos who are without water, keep communities safe and perform repairs to the system quickly and safely.

A Wireless Emergency Alert was issued following the Boil Water Notice to customers in the impacted area and the Emergency Operations Center has been activated at a Level 2, meaning that necessary agencies are staffing the Emergency Operations Center, as City departments continue to monitor the situation. Angelenos can visit ladwpnews.com or call 311 for more information.

The following resources are available for impacted Angelenos:

  • The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) has pre-deployed water tenders, engine task forces and other resources to the Porter Ranch and Granada Hills area with a focus on high risk fire areas.
